Infiniti QX60 (2017–2020) Hitch Installation

Rear view of a 2017–2020 Infiniti QX60 with a professionally installed 2-inch trailer hitch

Vehicle Coverage: 2017–2020 Infiniti QX60; exact trim and tow-package fitment are verified before scheduling
Receiver: Fixed 2-inch receiver
Hitch Rating: 4,000 lbs towing / 600 lbs tongue weight, subject to the vehicle manufacturer's limits
Installation Time: Approximately 1.5–2 hours

The prior-generation QX60 hitch mounts to six factory frame weldnuts. The spare tire is lowered, fascia brackets are released, and a small centered opening is trimmed beneath the bumper for receiver clearance.

1. Removing the Tow Hook and Lowering the Spare Tire

The driver-side tow hook is removed and retained for the owner, then the spare is lowered to clear the mounting area.

2. Releasing the Lower Fascia Brackets

The lower plastic retainers and bumper-support brackets are removed carefully and saved for reinstallation.

3. Creating the Receiver Clearance Opening

A small measured section is marked and trimmed from the underside center of the fascia so the receiver fits without distorting the bumper.

4. Raising the Hitch to the Frame

The receiver is lifted evenly and six structural bolts are started by hand in Infiniti’s existing threaded mounting points.

5. Final Torque and Reassembly

The hitch hardware is torqued in sequence, the fascia supports are restored, and the spare tire is raised back into position.

6. Appearance and Clearance Inspection

We confirm that the bumper sits flush and check receiver, spare-tire, exhaust, and safety-chain clearance before completion.

Finished Appearance: The main hitch structure is concealed, leaving the 2-inch receiver and safety-chain loops visible below the lower fascia. The installed-vehicle photo is shown using Fit so the full rear view remains visible without cropping.
